Flooring and Trim Replacement

The Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) is seeking competitive quotes for a comprehensive flooring and trim replacement project across four locations in southeast Michigan, including the Hein Building in Clinton Township, Oakland Terminal in Troy, Royal Oak Transit Center in Royal Oak, and Wayne Terminal in Inkster. The Request for Quote (RFQ) requires contractors to furnish and install new Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), carpet, and epoxy flooring, which includes completely removing existing flooring and molding at each site. Contractors must provide detailed unit pricing per square foot for different flooring types and submit comprehensive documentation demonstrating financial stability and regulatory compliance. The solicitation requires precise documentation, including pricing schedules and certifications of adherence to various federal regulations. The RFQ was issued on September 10, 2025, with quotes due by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on October 1, 2025, and the contract represents a one-time purchase with no renewal options or additional future commitments.

The contract has established a zero percent Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, indicating no specific set-aside requirements for minority or disadvantaged businesses. Contractors must comply with federal funding requirements, which mandate adherence to various federal clauses and certifications. The project will utilize federal funds, necessitating strict compliance with associated regulatory standards. Contractors will be responsible for providing all labor, tools, materials, insurance, permits, and disposal services, with work to be performed during standard business hours and in accordance with industry flooring installation standards. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project will involve flooring replacement across multiple facilities, suggesting a potentially substantial contract value. The wage determinations provided for Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne Counties indicate prevailing wage rates ranging from $13.30 to $17.75 per hour, depending on specific contract and regulatory guidelines, which will impact overall project costs.
